We yesterday had the satisfadiOn of conimimi tating to our Readers the details of the glorious suc cess obtained by our Naval Force in the Meath. ranean. In the course of the evelaing. a Gazette Extraordinary was published, containing the Dis vatehea of Lord COLLINGWOOD, and the Letters of Admiral MARTIN and Capt. HALtowELLy who had h 0 distingliighed a share in the destrudion of the Itnerny's Squadron; It is A circumstance not un worthy of,notice, that a part Of this service; viz. the driving the line-of-battle ships ,on shore, was per formed on the 25th of Oaoberrarid while we were Observing the Jubilee at home, - with universal re joicings, our Tars in the Mediterranean were cele brating it by defeating our Enemies. There is every reason to hope that the French *ill speedily make another, attempt to send a force from Toulon; be cause, as we stated yesterday, the whole number of Transports colleEted in that Port amounted to i6O, and they had -aaually put to sea with troops and, tores on board, but returned again in a few hours. , 4f they should, we have very little doubt that they tivill.ahare the fate of those that sailed under convoy of Admiral BAUDIN. It can hardly be necessary to enlarge upon the vast importance of this 'achievement, both to Spain and to our future operations in the Mediterranean. A considerable portion of the French naval force has teen destroyed, and several transports have been taken or burnt, with very little loss on our part, and with no damage whatever to our fleet. If the whole trench fleet, consisting of 17 sail of the line, had put to sea, and engaged our fleet of 16 sail, and we had taken or destroyed three line-of-battle ships, and two frigates, it would have been considered as a signal Naval Vifiory, though perhaps obtained at the expence of the lives of some hundreds of men, and many valuable officers, and our whole fleet pro bably crippled. The . violory obtained by Lord ROD NEY was then considered as a most glorious achievement ; but that vi&ory was obtained with great loss on our side, and we only took four sail of the line. On the present occasion the loss of the nemy has been nearly as great, while on our part the loss of lives has been comparatively small, and not a ship has been damaged. We observed, on a former occasion, that BUCINA... CARTE must have known Barcelona to be in great clanger, and to. have attached great importance to the Possession of it, or he would not have risqued so l'lrge a portion of the remnant of his naval force in the faint hopes of relieving it. We may, therefore, hope that we shall soon hear of the reduction of that imporiant . fortress, particularly as the efforts of the Spaniards must be greatly augmented by the 'example we have set them, and by the success we have obtained.

General OARTWRIG HT is President. The accounts in the last Spanish Papers, of the Patriots being in full march towards the capital, are corroborated by the following letter, dared CADIZ, N0V..1 6.-4.ltave only time to state to you, that the . Spanish Army, amounting to 54,000 men; has attived at Aranjtlez, pressing on to the capital, and not the.least doubt is entertained of the success of the enterprise, as the French Army at must does not. exceed 30,000 men, and seems but little inclined to make a firm stand. It is confidently said that our army was to enter Madrid on the 14th, and most people here are very sanguine in their ex peetations in this respec=t." - The following extract will explain the objects of two Expeditions that were prepared at Bomiay, and expelled to sail shortly after the departure of the vessel, the David Scott,, which brought these papers : ." BOMBAY,. JUNE 13, 1809.---Two expeditions are about to sail from hence, one under the orders of Captain EDGELL, of the Cornelia frigate, compos , ed of 300 men, halt British troops and half Natives. They proceed with every thing necessary to form a settlement on the Island of Rodrigues, which it is their intention to take possession of, the better to distress the Isle of France, asit will add great facility to the blockade and we hope it is intended as the first step towards a more effeetual plan. All the troops take their families with them; the military part of the Expedition is under the command of COL KEATING. " The other Expedition will probably be subje& to more severe duty, being destined for an attack on the Pirates, in the Persian Gulp!), who are as des perate as they have become formidable. They lately beat and captured a squadron fitted out by the IMAuM of Muscat. This Expedition is to be under the immediate orders of Colonel SMITH, of the 65th Regiment, who takes with him his own corps, and a detachment of Natives, with a quantity of ar tillery. Captain WAINWIUGHT, of the Chinimne, superintends the naval part of the Expedition." The LORD MAYOR has appointed Tuesday next for the Meeting of the Common Council on the subject of the late Expedition. In the requisitim made to his Lordship on the occasion, his Majesty is beseeched to convene Parliament, though his Ma jesty's Proclamation for convening it has been for some days published. 3E171,LE, N o v, 1. of . Socorro, with a skirmishing ptrir of .Oriiy 2{ men,, and scouring the line."-of conimunicacion,,in :the out-works, 'annoyed the enemy both in their ad- vance and retreat, contriving by the most :1-.t.ive and skilful irianuvres to give the enemy a ma g nified impression of the force_ under his comtnand. He killed 80 of the .enemy, including a Captain, and brought in with him 5 t muskets ) two scaling lad ders, six pick-axes, four hatchets, and one drum. " AIL the breaches, with the path-ways of Cabildo, Calvario, and the ascent of Monjuieh, were covered with the enemy's death Such was the fury !. • , , The following is an abstract of a detailed account given in (Ile Go owl Diary', of the events of the me- tno'rable 'l9th of Septen)Ger':'—. " The enemy continued to pby: upon the three breach`s of S. Loci?, San Cristobal, and Alemanes, for more tha❑ a month after they were praolicable. TIY4 censequunce was, that the walls were de molished and levt,lled to a, great extent, and the houses 'educed to a 'heap of ruins. They kept up an -incessant fire of cannon, mortars, and 'howitzers, on the 17th, Otii, and 19th, On the latter day they collected the greater part of their force on the heights of . Carripadura and Mon • with which our brave fellows were aduated, at th - et sight of the vile slaves of the Usurper,• that on some occasions they did not stop to make use of their Muskets. They armed themselves with the stones which they found in the breach, and hurled theta upon the assailanti. According to the information of the prisoners, deserters, and other data, the ene my's loss in killed only, amounted to eight hundred, including three Colonels, and a number o finferior Officers. juich, and in the'afternoon a -column of 2000 'men filed off by the r ad beavren Monjuich and the Tower of S. I),imiel ; a sewtid, of the same force, broke tip .from St. Migtiei and a third; of equal numbers', advanced by the high rbad Eton Mon:iota. We at the sale time observed some troops iu mo- Lion in the woods Of Palat3 ." The instant the Governor 'D: Mar iano Alvarez was apprised by a signal trot, the Tower of the Cathedral, and verbal messaeeS from other quar ters; thai the enemy were advancing, he made' his dispositions to receive them; with his charac teristic cOolness; prompti:ude, and intrepidity.— The genera te was beaten at four in the after ff - noon, the alarm bell was rung; the .General sent his ciders in every diree.lion, and the troops prqceed ed to occupy their respettive pOsts With an alacrity and discipline, which would have made an impres sion on Napoleon himself, had he seen them. The breach and quarter of the Alemanes were reinforced by the greater part of the regiment of Ultonia, coni manded by D. William Nasch, end a part of Baza's;,. commanded by D. Miguel de. Hart) both of them distributing their troupes° as to-co-operate alternate ly with the reserve posted in the centre of the works in that quarter, and composed of a' part of Bourbon, commanded by Delose de la ILjesia,eo men from each of' the other tegiments, and , the General's company of reserve. At the breach of Santa Lucia were posted the General's guard, consisting of a part of the regi ment of Uttouia, detaChments from the regiments of Bata and Bourbon, the second battalion of Bar celoua) the filet of Gerona, the first of Vique; and the other corps, having their TeserVe stationed at the gate of, St. Pedro. The breath of St. Cristobal was Occupied by part of the second battalion Ut Vique and the second of Talarn, reinfenced by detach ments front the second of Barcelona, the first of Ge rona, the grenadier company of Hibera; and the ecclesiastic company of Crusaders. The gate of "Saracinas was guarded by a detachment' of the :first of Talarn, 'and some corpS- of rem serve 'Stationed near it. A pert of the regiment of Baza guarded the gate of France. The rest of 'ate garrison, with the companies of regulars, those of the Crusade, and the mass of the inhabie tents, defended the walls and ramparts of the city; The illustrious Junta of the Distrid assembled at their usual place of meeting, to attend to the course of events, and atiord the necessary aids in their de partment. The company of Santa Barbara, \consist ing of ladies, distributed .themselves at the different pointSe - nost convenient for assisting th i wounded 3 and a proclamation was issued to invite L'ee voluntary aid of such other females as might be disposed to join in their charitable labours. " Thii column of the enemy, that approached by the foot of the Tower of Gironella, Making a despe rate effort, amidst repeated cries of advance, suc ceeded in mounting the extensive breaches of Ale :manes and S. Cristobal, and, in the first moments, a few of them penetrated es far as the contiguous houses. At this instant a party of the heroes of Uhonia came up, and, with the utmost intrepidity, planted themselves in the breach; after killing the French Officer, who, by gestures and shouts, Was urging on his troeps to vi6tory. A strong detach , . meat of Bourbon opportunely arrived, and Imme diately . after some reinforcements detached by the Governor. These united corps, led on by that ve;. term Officer Don Bias de Fournas, completely re pulsed the invincilles, end the greater part of those The braVe Governor was incesantly occupied during . the conflia, in visiting the aitferent posts, aways regarding that as the scene of honour where the enemy seemed to make their most vigorous efa _ forts. When the Anal retreat of the enemy was ascertained, he went round to the different carps, and thanked thegallant: officers and men for their gallant: exertions, and also ,the Ladies of Santa Barbara, who heroically repaired to the breaches to administer relief to the wounded, and to see them conveyed' to • the hospitals. " The enemy, after their first encounter with 'our soldiers, could not begot to return to the charge but under the blows of their Officers' sabres ; end as often as they were repulsed, they fled in disorder / Without any distinaion of officer or private. " The Sub-Lieutenant D. Antonia Biverh, and Lieutenant D. Jose Camps, with a small paly of our troops, passed the night in searching along the foot of the walk, and in the fields, for the enemv's wounded, and in conveying them to our hospitals.— They found one that had bee,n stripped naked by a miquelet,. who conceived he waa dead. His story was, that he feigned himself dead to avoid being killed by his own countrymen, or ours - He says, it is very common with the French to dispatch such of their wounded as they cannot bring away with theni 3 . and their officers impress upon th e m, that our migtielets and peasants never give quarter?.

THE THEATRE.—The operatic Drama of The &Ile, and the farce of Is he a Prince, were repte.- sewed last night at Covent-Garda-, Tneatre. The house was not very well attended at first. At the petwd of half-price a body of the 0. P. squadron aneared, hut not in great strength. Some of them displayed medals struck in honour of the occasion, but there was no other display of the grand initials of the oppo;hion. As the pit was not crowded, .there was more. titan usual room for the volunte , .- rriormer3 10 shew their activity, and 11)(7 chi e fly employed themselves in running along the benches. Two Or three persons who appeared anxious to re new the disturbances were taken into custody.— The usual groans and Cheers, with one of the latter in honour of Lord CoLIANGWOOD, and a short dance, terminated the entertainments before the cur tain, and the au , fiente then quietly dispersed. • The last at of the opera and almost the whole or the farce were interrupted by . sneezing, coughing, and other symptoms of in f irmity, that fortunately de pended on the Will of the sufferers. A pigeon match. for a sake of two hundred guineas took place yesterday on ley Common, between three noted shooters Loin Buckingharn•lr re, Messrs. Holt, Sullivan, and Cunningham, acid there from Bedfordshire, Myssrs. Cooke, Grove, and Fanshaw. The match was 2 t birds, *Seven having been lotted to each candidate. The following was the order of the shooting : • that had penetrated beyond the - breach were kith:A upon the spot. Another column, reinforced by the WestphalianS, made a second attempt ; but thy; iu stant they came into contact with our brave fel.- loxs, who stood firm as a wall upon the. breach, they were panic struck, and such as survived shock took flight. The enemy advanced a third and fourth time, with a degree of fury borckt ing upon frenzy ; but the only result of their repeated etK,irs was to aggrandize the glory of Gerona. Dun Bias ! de Fournas, in his report to the Governor, states the number of the assailants at 2500. The conflict, in all, lasted two hours. The French and Spanish Offi cers were repeatedly engaged man to man. A number of the French were crushed to death by a • part of the wall falling on them. The report says, that 300 of them, including a Colonel, lay dead upon, or close to the breaches : those found in the breaches belonged to the 56th regiment. " Whilst these events were passing at the breaches of Alemanes and S. Cristobal, the column which . • approached by the road of Alonjuich, attacked the breach of Santa Lucia, where 1). Rudulfo Marshall commanded. The enemy, under cover of a brisk. fire, twice attempted to penetrate, hut were as often repulsed, with great loss. A Colonel, who had the hardihood to plant himself on .the br4ach, paid the forfeit of his life. D. Rodulfo Marshall was severely wounded in repulsing the enemy. A party of our troops posted in the church-steeple, greatly assisted the defenders of the breac.7, by keeping up an incessant fire from the loop-holes and battlements. " The fort of Calvario was, at the same time, at tacked by a column of between 200 and 300 men, who .oshed forward to the foot of the three breaches made in it ; but they met with so gallant a reception, that they instantly fled, carrying off with them a number of their wounded, and leaving behind them scaling ladders and grappling irons. In the mean time, a Jose Camps, Lieutenant of the Second of Barcelona, sallied out of the gate ~. BUCKS. Bi r .DFORDSHIRS. * One of them, called Floresti, was the person who went .
